Well I fell off another bus and rather than wait around for the next one I thought I would get another going myself. So have stocked it up with cake, Wine - for the first 2 weeks and Brew - for the 2ww'ers :)

Hoping it will be a lucky bus for lots of us - and I might have a birthday baby :)

Liliana (31) ttc#1 ucl 28 af due 26th March

(I have left out the CD as it is never up to date and all we really want to know is when are people testing!)

CD5 here so still very early days. Got Friday off work to head down to Brighton for my cousin's hen do which should take my mind off the waiting and the constant will he won't he anxiety with regard to DH. I am wondering how I will get my daily glass of grapefruit juice without arousing suspicion though!

Am with you on the FF upgrade. Haven't done it yet but have just been paid and am eyeing up every single conception aid there is!

ShaggingWithIntent · 15/06/2011 09:31

I resisted paying for FF but it lasted all of 8 days and then I was geting irritated by not being able to fiddle with my charts and so bought the VIP membership. I was being optimistic and only paid for the 3 months membership.......

My chart looks a bit odd but it seems to be pretty much identical to last months so I guess that it's just normal for me!

CD 11 today and expecting OV on CD16 so DH had better get ready for a weekend of shagging! No Pressure!!!!

pommedechocolat · 15/06/2011 09:13

I do the counting to ten! Or I run out the back of the garage and do a big scream!
Never mind she'll eat one day right?!
Sooo two OPK questions! Got an opk + this am (cd12) last - was yest pm. However both + OKPs (this month and last) have been am but not FMU. Weird that both + would be the same time and situation (rushing out to nursery and work) or am I being paranoid? Can I believe it do you reckon?
Then if it is true as we dtd last night and will never get dh to do it three days in a row should I jump him tonight or tomorrow night? Tomorrow would have the advantage of being every other day so don't need to tell him about POAS...

Liliana1 · 14/06/2011 20:39

Damn, only available for vip members and I'm too cheap for that!! Oh well will stick it out with my fingers crossed, nothing I can do about it now. Resorting back to POAS every day with okp's next month.

Thanks, didn't know I could change my chart, off to have a play with it! Thanks for the feedback

oooh, quick update just followed my own advice and switched FF chart to "research" and it now says I ovulated on CD15 so currently 3dpo...not convinced yet will have to see what the next few days temps do. Chart is here for anyone interested Smile

Would be great if its right. Definitely a vote in favour of Agnus Castus' magical properties for PCOS cycles...

wheredmysanitygo · 14/06/2011 19:44

Am finding FF confusing too Liliana, but think it takes a while to decide definitely that you've ovulated. I've had it move my date like Poppyjen

SWI I am also counting on pregnancy to get me away from a horrible job, well just the horrible boss really. Fx for both of us Grin

Poppyjen · 14/06/2011 19:22

pommedechocolat my attempts at "encouraging" ds to eat some dinner have me (covered in tomato and cheese) walking slowly (crunching underfoot cheerios mysteriously left on the floor from breakfast time Blush ) out of sight holding my head in my hands counting to 10 etc etc. We seem to be going through a throwing everything on the floor and saying "uh-oh" (albeit in a very sweet way...). Don't fret, I think we'll have forgotten all about this by the time it comes along again Grin

Besides I am sure (convinced in fact Wink ) that fromage frais is very good for the skin (walls, floor....cat...)

Congratulations Melliebobs , missed that one too - so sorry Smile, when did that happen?

Liliana FF changed my ovulation date 3 times last cycle, I think it had it right in the end though, later than it initially said. Have you tried seeing what happens if you set it to the different modes (FAM or Research) when I did this it showed ovulation on a different day and one that in the end made much more sense.

No sign of ovulation for me yet, I'm CD 18 but last cycle not even a whisper of a red line on FF until CD29 so not really that surprised. Hoping that after MC cycles may have got more normal, temp certainly not as up and down as before. Ov-ed on CD21 on the cycle we conceived DS so hoping something similar happens this time Smile

Liliana1 · 14/06/2011 17:40

Congrats Melliebobs - how did I miss it?!?!

My temp has dropped again today Hmm Don't know what's going on and wish I had used okp's again but thought I had it sussed last month. Does anyone 'get' fertility friend? Worried now as thought we had hit the right days and now DH is away so no hope of a bit extra swi to cover all eventualities.

SWI I'm the same - bring on the mat leave!!

pommedechocolat · 14/06/2011 17:12

Just took 45 mins to feed dd her tea and now everything in the kitchen (including me) is covered in a thin veneer of fromage frais. Mealtimes suck at the moment. Wondering why I want to go through this again?!
I do however and cd11 today and swi episode 3 is on for tonight!

ShaggingWithIntent · 14/06/2011 16:07

Damn job!! I really need to get upduffed quickly so I can get outof this shit hole!!!

Pixiepops · 14/06/2011 15:57

It takes dedication Shagging, you can't let things like work get in the way, believe me! Wink

ShaggingWithIntent · 14/06/2011 15:49

Congrats Meeliebobs. How on earth did I miss that?!?!?

Jebel · 14/06/2011 15:41

congrats mellie about time we got some more BFPs!

Sorry AF got you charming. Am sure you are glowing with health and ready to jump on the next bus :)

I have multiple symptoms which are of course all pre-AF also...

ThisCharmingMum · 14/06/2011 14:32

Oh, and let me add to that someone randomly saying to me at work that I looked 'glowing'.

Also, on finding myself and a couple of colleagues gossiping about something, another colleague came up and said 'what's the goss, are you pregnant?'

Nobody knows I am ttc by the way!

From now on, I am not going to consider any symptoms except for a BFP.

ThisCharmingMum · 14/06/2011 14:23

Oooh congrats to Melliebobs :)

Hope this is going to continue to be as lucky for the rest of us.

AF got me today. Wasn't really expecting any different as we only SWI on CD6 this cycle before decide to postpone plans.

It does mean my cycle is 26 days this month though. Shorter than usual.

I have learnt something this month and that is that I have had all of the following symptoms and am not pregnant. Please excuse TMI.

  1. Nausea
Pixiepops · 14/06/2011 13:20

Have just spotted Melliebobs' post - we've got another BFP!

AmandaCooper · 14/06/2011 08:19

Acceber that was a little early!

Jebel · 14/06/2011 07:13

hey golden fx for Friday, seems ages away. But really I shouldn't test until Monday.

I really am going bonkers although I promised I wouldn't this month. DH does not find me amusing at all.

stuffthenonsense · 14/06/2011 07:11

Morning everyone!
Forgot how much fun this SWI can be! DH and I are feeling more like a young couple again instead of a couple bogged down by work/family issues.
First month of TTC and I am becoming obsessed NOOO, I was hoping to take an 'if it happens, it happens' approach, but I can feel a spreadsheet coming on.
Is CD8 too soon to start opk??

MrsCog · 13/06/2011 22:43

Hi everyone, I'm on CD9 and got EWCM today which was great (simple things eh?!) as I didn't have any last month, so hoping for a much more normal month. SWI every other day I think - fingers x'd,

Karbea · 13/06/2011 21:27

Hello,

I went and had my lh and fsh blood tests today. I need to go again back in a few weeks for another one, and then 7 days after that for the results... Anyone else going through this too?

Acceber · 13/06/2011 21:03

Hi everyone - tested a little early yesterday and got a ....BFN! Will try again on Friday when AF is due but not hopeful.

Damn.

MyGoldenNotebook · 13/06/2011 18:49

Hi all!

I will be testing on Friday too Jebel! Should be due then or on Saturday. Not had ANY symptoms at all though and we did not get to do as much SWI as I wanted as DH has been very stressed at work so not feeling very optimistic ... there is also the sticky point about not getting any positive OPKS ... but you nevery know :) I'm just telling myself I must have ovulated a bit later.

Liliana1 · 13/06/2011 18:39

Hi everyone, no internet over the weekend so have been trying to catch up with posts. Welcome to all the new people :)

I'm now in the 2ww :( Had lots of SWI over the weekend but still not sure as I thought I was ov'ing sat, had a temp drop friday am, but not spiked yet? Does this mean i didn't ovulate? Confused

Trying not to obsess this 2ww as went a little bonkers last time (hmm wonder how long that will last!) but have loads on at work so hoping that will keep my mind off things.
